Huawei nova 12i

Strengths

it has good Tools in this case we started our test in Call of Duty whereby default it gives us the medium quality at medium frame rate
Asphalt 9 where we enabled 60 frames per second but kept the default Graphics quality and this is one of the most optimized games so it just goes to show that this device with well-matched games and simple Graphics could really give you a very good experience
simple or well adapted games will work fine
If you do get it I don't think it will be completely disappointing in many ways either

Lenovo K12 Pro

The Lenovo K12 Pro is a budget-friendly smartphone that promises to deliver on its price point. With stock Android, a massive 6.8-inch display, triple rear cameras, and a whopping 6000mAh battery, it's an intriguing option for those looking for a bang-for-your-buck entry-level device. Priced at PHP 8,490, this phone offers impressive specs, including a Qualcomm Snapdragon 662 processor and 4GB of RAM. But can it keep up with other smartphones in its class? Let's dive into the details to find out.

Huawei nova 12i

The Huawei Nova 12i is a device that struggles to stand out in its class. While it's not entirely disappointing, it falls short on several key points compared to its competitors. Despite its capable camera and decent battery life, the phone's performance is marred by a mid-range processor that can't handle demanding tasks or games with high graphics settings. This makes it a less-than-ideal choice for those who prioritize gaming or multitasking capabilities.
